- Looking for fantasy baseball bargains in salary leagues? Well I'll use my Diamond Fantasy Baseball Challenge price list to point out some potentially under-valued or bargain players. I'll post pitchers in this post and in the following post, you will find some bargain position players.
- Here are some fantasy baseball pitchers on my Diamond Fantasy Baseball Challenge list which I think are strong plays at reasonable prices:
Francisco Liriano $870 is half the price of departing teammate Johan Santana. When healthy, his numbers will be as good or better. A must have for this price.
John Maine $810 is too cheap for the numbers he put up last season and promises to put up again this season. Buy him.
Ian Snell $800 is too low. This guy showed you that he is going to be a dominant pitcher. He'll need some run support but I'd buy him at this price.
Phil Hughes $760 is a low low price for a pitcher who could well win the Cy Young in 2008.
Joba Chamberlain $700 is a tease price. The reason I say this is because he's likely to work the bullpen. But until the Yankees new manager Joe Girardi makes that decision, find room for this stud in your rotation.
Tim Lincecum $880 may win Rookie of year in NL and gives you K's and K's to IP.
Pedro Martinez $940. When he is healthy, Pedro Martinez is the best. This price is a steal.
Rich Harden $730. He's pitching in spring training and that's good enough for me. Buy him.
Rich Hill $780 is coming off a nice season and is a solid buy for the price.
- These are what I call safe bargains. Now you should try and afford a Jake Peavy or a Johan Santana and add Cole Hamels and Erik Bedard at their moderate price ranges to establish a solid top 3. Then you can follow them up with a few of the bargains listed above to fill out your rotation. Load the bench with more of the pitchers listed above and you should have some cash ready for a solid batting order. The price range in your league should be somewhat equal in terms of value per player and all I can say is goodluck. Warning: Be weary of gambling on the real cheapies. The one's that cost next to nothing usually give you that in terms of fantasy points. Goodluck!
